Middle Coast Investing LLC Daniel Shvartsman | “ABM Industries is seeing its microgrid business grow to the point where it may start pushing the needle on overall growth—up 34% in Q1 and now 10% of the business. The rest of the business—janitorial and maintenance services for offices, schools, and airports—is growing closer to 4%. It's not as cheap as Steelcase, but this is a company that doesn't worry me, and we bought more shares after an earnings sell-off. BSD Analysis: ABM is the kind of facilities-services compounder nobody pays attention to until margins quietly grind higher and the stock rerates out of nowhere. Its diversified client base gives it insulation from any single sector downturn, and outsourcing demand only grows when corporate budgets tighten. ABM's move into higher-value verticals like data centers and aviation gives the business a stickier, more premium mix than its legacy janitorial roots suggest. Labor inflation is a challenge, but ABM has shown it can pass through pricing without losing customers. The company executes best when macro is messy, because clients lean harder into operational simplification. Investors treat ABM like a sleepy roll-up, but the operating leverage inside the model is real. This is a slow-burn quality story hiding behind a generic name.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jul 9, 2025 | View Pitch |
